Thanks for the graphics!.
Many books have been written to analyze the political situation in Germany after the first World War!. After all the dramatic and horrific events that followed, even today it is difficult to have a totally objective assessment!.
Precursor: The events leading to the World War and the World War itself are equally difficult to clean from one-sided propaganda that still fogs the truth with its distortions and hatred not allowing an objective view of history!. Propaganda, the vicious distortions of the truth, is an essential element created at that time, especially by the forces fighting Germany, to fight the German enemy without material weapons i!.e!. with caricatures, obscene pamphlets and news paper fabricated "reports" This psychological warfare was recognized as a tremendous, effective and continuous and convenient power tool after the war by most states to influence the general and easily manipulated public for their own political advantages!.
German History:
The loss of the war, the revolution and the democratic restructuring in Germany established the basis for the formation of numerous political parties and movements!. All these organizations rushed to get power from a relatively naive population which was still under the trauma of the defeat, the loss of a firm monarchistic political frame and the exposure to the psychopathic hatred of the former "enemies" towards everything German (resulting in outrageously unfair punishments "Treaty of Versailles and St!.Germain") This maintained and constantly inflamed hatred was for the "victor" states a convenient method to cleanse themselves from their own horrific actions and atrocities!.
The many German parties were never smart enough to consolidate their voter shares to form a strong government!. Street fights were pretty common!. Except for the NSDAP which recognized the power of propaganda and manipulation of the people (by experts in influencing masses ,like Dr!. Joseph Goebbels) and which established centrally "orchestrated" troupes of party bullies!. Blackmail and extortion of the other parties, who were blinded by their own incompetence and shortsightedness, helped them to accrue and deploy the political power to finally establish their regime!.
If you would like to get an additional historic assessment, you should formulate questions in smaller packages!. I would be delighted to assist you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
